Solving the problems that hospitals face

Are you experiencing staffing shortages, unpredictable costs, and not enough clinicians? You’re not alone.

Travel nurses cost 1.5 to 2 times more and, on average, leave after 13 weeks

Local recruitment isn't yielding qualified candidates

Retention bonuses aren't solving turnover

High turnover and exhausted staff increase operational strain and compromise patient care

Immigration Complexity

International recruitment can help, but only when candidates are supported, prepared, and integrated from day one.

International hiring requires coordination across immigration, licensing, credentialing, and cultural integration. Some recruitment models process visas, place candidates, and stop at placement, leaving the rest to you.

The Conexus model is a full-cycle recruitment approach that supports professionals through arrival, onboarding, and beyond, resulting in an 85% conversion rate to permanent staff.

Healthcare staffing solutions: FAQs

  • Conexus Medstaff specializes in long-term, temp-to-permanent placement for international nurses. With 96% of our nurses completing assignments and 85% becoming permanent members of staff, Conexus prides itself on providing long-term workforce strategies, not short-term fixes.
  • 23% of our Registered Nurses are ready for deployment in as little as 4-6 months, with 59% ready in 6-8 months. However, every case is unique and dependent on several variables.
  • Yes, you can. With the Conexus model, there is no conversion fee after the contractual commitment is completed. 85% of our temporary nurses become permanent core staff.

  • Our clinical education curriculum has four in-depth development phases that ensure our clinicians are clinically competent and U.S. compliant. These stages are as follows:

    · ASCP-aligned diagnostic competency exam (pre-education)

    Phase II: Experience Building

    · Clinician is provided foundational education that doubles as CE support for certification

    Phase III: Readiness preparation

    · Pipeline

    o ASCP-aligned diagnostic competency exam (post-education)

    o Clinical development specialist provides additional education in areas the clinician may show deficiencies as identified through the competency exam, as well as self-reporting of post-internship lab experience.

    · Pre-Deployment

    o Clinician is assigned education modules and case studies to prepare for U.S. employment

    · Post-Deployment (Transition)

  • No. We look after everything. Our support doesn’t end when you hire our clinicians. We continue to support our clinicians throughout the duration of their contract. Our goal is their long-term success.
  • Direct hire programs often struggle with early turnover because nurses arrive with permanent obligations but without adequate support systems. Instead, our contract length provides time for proper assimilation, allowing nurses to build relationships, understand hospital culture, establish themselves in the community, and make informed decisions about long-term commitment. By the time they transition to permanent status, they’re already integrated team members, not new hires still finding their footing.
